Where do you live?

My lovelies, I'm curious: Where do you live? Which state, country?

We grew up in Michigan, and then I moved to New York after college--into a crumbling apartment with lots of mice! (And now that I've been here for a whopping ten years, I'm working on a little guide to New York that I'm really excited to share soon.:)

I live in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. It's a really tiny town in the middle of Pennsylvania. I suppose that is where I call home, although I'm leaving for college. I guess someone can have more that one "home"!

I grew up between Sun Valley, Idaho and London, moved to the far northern coast of California in my late teenage years, and moved to Berkeley for college,mandate now I believe I'm stuck. I love the bay.

I live in Florida right now and it is not the right place for me at all. Unfortunately my daughter just started school here and since I was the "new kid" like 10 times growing up I will probably stay here just to spare her that.

But I miss seasons. I would move in a heartbeat if it worked out that way. Florida is just...not so much....

I was born in Philadelphia, PA, lived in Horsham, PA until I was 10, then moved to Brighton, MI, stayed there till I was a freshman in high school, then moved to Grand Rapids, MI, then moved to Wilmington, DE, and (phew!) recently moved to Chicago, IL!

i live in seattle. august is the best, most magical month to live in seattle.

your friend penny came to my book club one day and told me about your blog... maybe two, three years ago? i've been reading ever since! my best friend and i read your blog daily, and often refer to "the bag jo posted" or "what jo said about talking to little girls." thanks for being a part of our lives! :)

I was born in Singapore, moved to Hong Kong for a few years in my childhood, back to Singapore, then moved to Australia when I was 17. I now live in Ellington, Connecticut after marrying the hubs. We want to move closer to NYC because I'm a city girl and I really miss it. Like stab someone in the eye kind of miss it :)

I would LOVE it if you blogged a NYC guide! We're hopefully moving there next Fall for my husband to continue school! I was born and raised all over Arizona, Mesa and Holbrook and currently Phoenix, although I've taken 6 month breaks and lived in D.C. and Utah as well!

I grew up in Indiana, spent 3 summers during college in Los Angeles where I met my boy, then moved to Boone, NC for a few months before moving to Chapel Hill, NC to be with him while he finished grad school, and now we're in MD while I go to grad school. I love having lived in so many places! And we're definitely not staying in DC forever, so here's to more adventures to come.

I was born and raised in Rochester, NY, moved away to an even colder part of the state for my first year of college, then back to Rochester for the last 3 years of undergrad. Rochester is a nice place but I can't wait until I can afford to move somewhere with more sunshine and mountains!

I've lived in NYC for 10 years, too! Isn't it amazing - I remember hearing when I first moved here that you're really not a New Yorker until you've lived here for 10 years. That day seemed so far away!

Born and raised in Virginia- moved around a ton after college- have also lived in NC, DC, SC, CO and now living in Atlanta, GA. Definitely here to stay- I love it! @ Erin{pughs' news) my husband is from London England too!

Houston, Texas. We have been in the triple digits for 20 days now and no rain, not a single drop, in over two months. Bet you wanna live here?! Ha-Ha. The hubs and I talk all the time about moving some place that actually has 4 seasons and not just Summer and Fall. NYC and DC have been at the top but we just can't seem to get up the courage to move!

I was born in Wyoming, moved to Houston when I was 2, then to Louisiana for 4 years in Middle School and then back to Houston, where I went to college. After college, I moved to San Francisco and I don't have any plans on leaving anytime soon. I'm going to NY soon for a visit, so I can't wait for your guide!!

I grew up in Seattle, Wash. but for the past year and a half my husband Mick and I have been working in wineries and traveling around quite a bit. We've lived in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, Marlborough of New Zealand and we've just moved to Sonoma in California. It's beautiful here!

I grew up on a farm in the Finger Lakes/Leatherstocking region of NY State. I went to college in Albany, NY, and now my husband and I (and our kids) live on a old farm/apple orchard just West of Albany. I love it here!

I live in Stavanger, on the southwest coast of Norway. Beautiful scenery, awful weather - I lived in London for a year after graduating uni (in Canada and Singapore) but a guy drew me back to my home town.

I grew up in northern Virginia (oh so different from southern Virginia you see) and came to Utah for school. Now I'm married and waiting for my husband to finish school before we (hopefully) move to NYC next year! Fingers crossed.

I live in the middle of five mountain ranges - Sun Valley, Idaho! Skiing and mountain bikers paradise. I grew up in New Hampshire, and have lived in Minnesota, Colorado, Montana, Massachusetts and New York.

Born and raised in Lisbon, capital of Portugal (the most western european country). I've always lived (and studied, even in college) in a central neighborwood of the city (in an apartment), and I moved to another neighborwood (not far away)three years ago, when I got married. Now I live in a house, I have a little garden, in a very quiet, yet central place. Does this answer to your question?? :-)) xo*

I'm from Haarlem, the Netherlands (this will always be home to me). But I've been living in Grenoble, France for almost five years now. And if I have my way, we'll spend a couple of years in New York too! And then some years in Paris and maybe London too? Oh who am I kidding, we'll be back in Haarlem in a couple of years and we'll probably never leave again. But one can always dream, right?

I love in Toronto, Canada. I'm moving to the suburbs soon - Toronto is great, however i'm looking forward to the simplicity of the burbs again! :) I'm planning on visiting New York next year... always have wanted to go :)

I just graduated from Michigan as well (!), so now that I've left Ann Arbor (one of my favorite cities!), I'm doing a poetry residency in a tiny town in Iowa called Grinnell. When I leave Grinnell next week, I'm going back home to the beautiful Traverse City, Michigan. Nothing is lovelier than Michigan in autumn! :)

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Not far from the beautiful mountains. I have visited NY several times, as my best friend and her husband are living there while he attends NYU. What a magical place it is! :) I hope to squeeze in one more visit before he graduates and they move back home!

You know Joanna, it's one of the hardest questions of my life; where do you call home?... I live in Tehran, Iran. I am Iranian and after years of years of losing loved ones because of their migrations to other countries...it's really hard to say where do I call home. Because I believe that home is where the heart is, where your dear ones are. After all I think I still know here as my home, Tehran.

Currently living in Düsseldorf, Germany and will be here for the next few years for my husband's job. I was born & raised in Orange County, CA but went to college in Northern California where I stayed before coming to Germany.
